Figure 2.26. Joining All Networks
To isolate just RS422 communications, select “RS232 and Ethernet Joined”. In
Figure 2.26, only projector #1 will respond to the RS422 controller. To isolate just
Ethernet communications, select “RS232 and RS422 Joined”—only projector #3 will
respond via Ethernet while all will respond to the RS422 controller.
It is helpful to define a unique 3-digit projector number—001, 002, 003, etc.—to
each projector connected in a serial (RS232 or RS422) network. These numbers
enable you to direct
Cine-IPM 2K serial commands to a single projector rather than
broadcasting to the entire network. For complete information on how to assign and
use projector numbers on a serial network, see
3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and
Advanced Controls .
If desired, convert an IR remote keypad into a wired remote keypad and vice versa.
Select the new desired function in the
Communications menu and add or remove the
cable and batteries as appropriate.
NOTE:
In either configuration, batteries are required for powering the laser pointer.
1. Using the keypad as either an IR (infrared) remote or with its cable
connected to the
Cine-IPM 2K , display the Communications menu.
2. Set the new desired keypad function—either “Front IR” or “Wired
Keypad”—to
On
. The Cine-IPM 2K will now recognize both types of
communication signals.
3. For wired function, add the keypad cable (provided) and connect to the
REMOTE
port on the Cine-IPM 2K. For IR function, remove the cable and
make sure the 4 batteries are installed.
4. If desired, return to the Communications menu and turn the opposing keypad
functionality to
Off
. This is useful when you are using a wired keypad and
need to prevent interference from other nearby IR remotes still in use.
Note that each keypad configuration—wired or IR—controls the
Off
state of the other
type of keypad. This safeguard prevents accidentally disabling the current keypad.
